No issues between Salah and Mane


Liverpool forward Sadio Mane says he and Mohamed Salah have settled their on-field differences.

The Senegal international showed a rare display of emotion when he was substituted at Burnley last month, furious that his team-mate had not passed to him when he was in a better position.

It led to suggestions that all was not well between the pair, but Mane insists that's not true.

"I felt frustration because it’s football, you want to score more goals. You see Man City score six, seven, eight and we know we can do that,” Mane said of the incident.

“For the team I think it was really important to score as many goals as we can, but he didn’t see me and that can happen.

I was a bit frustrated but we are really, really good friends. But you know it is all forgotten, it’s behind us.

“I think we are better this season than last season, for sure, we are working hard every single day to get better and get better. We are more mature than last season for sure because a few more months have gone by.”

Mane is set to face his old side Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League tomorrow:

“It’s special, I played there for two-and-a-half years. I am sure they will be ready for me and I will be ready for them as well. I will be really happy to meet my ex-team-mates. At the same time, I would love to win against them.”
